The LAMASUS Summer School offers an immersive experience in the concepts, methodologies and outputs of cutting-edge econometric, biophysical, and integrated land-use modelling, specifically tailored to assess the impacts of European agricultural policies. Through engaging sessions led by passionate LAMASUS researchers, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the models’ frameworks, applications, and key findings, equipping them with valuable insights for policy analysis and research.
During the one-week course, you will engage directly with the middle section of this process: the LAMASUS Toolbox. This means you will:
- Explore how advanced econometric and forward-looking models are applied to study changes in land use and land management, particularly in the agricultural and forestry sectors.
- Understand the policy pathways and feedback mechanisms that link farm-level impacts to regional, national, and EU-level policy goals.
- Get familiar with the LAMASUS geodatabases and policy database, essential resources for conducting quantitative policy analysis and evaluating real-world scenarios.
